Harry's Flirty Messages Cause Stir

Old private Facebook messages between Prince Harry and a journalist, dating from late 2011 to early 2012, have recently come to light. These exchanges occurred long before his relationship with Meghan Markle began. The tone of the messages has attracted attention, with reports indicating that Meghan Markle is unhappy about their public disclosure.

The messages were revealed during a court hearing as part of Prince Harry's legal action against Associated Newspapers. The Duke of Sussex is accusing the publisher of unlawful information-gathering methods. Journalist Charlotte Griffiths, recipient of the messages, was not known to be a journalist by Prince Harry at the time of their chats, which included lighthearted personal remarks.

Commentary on the messages suggests they could negatively impact Prince Harry's court case. A source claims Meghan Markle finds the situation embarrassing and frustrating, leading to Prince Harry being nicknamed 'Flirty Harry'. Prince Harry has previously testified in court about his acquaintance with Griffiths, stating he ceased contact upon discovering her profession and questioning the circumstances of their interaction.

The High Court trial in London, which lasted 10 weeks, concluded on March 31, with a decision pending from Judge Matthew Nicklin. Associated Newspapers has denied all allegations made against them.
